Praying Mantis for Sale

Buy a Praying Mantis ooth (Mantis religiosa)

We are now offering European Praying Mantis egg cases (called an "ootheca") for sale.

This species not only makes for an amazing pet, but considering you will hatch 250+ baby mantids from each egg case, you will have plenty to feed your reptiles and amphibians. Chameleons absolutely relish them!

The egg case can be refrigerated until you would like them to hatch. The babies appear at about 1/4" in size and can be fed fruit flies or pinhead crickets. If allowed to grow, they will eventually reach about 3" in length.

Shipping is free! When you buy a Mantis egg case from us, you automatically receive our 100% live arrival guarantee.

Praying Mantis Egg Case InformationYour European Praying mantis egg case (called an "ooth") will produce many of both sexes. The ooth can be refrigerated until you would like them to hatch. All that is necessary for the eggs to hatch is room temperature for three to eight weeks. Once the babies emerge (at about 1/4" in length), they can be fed fruit flies and pinhead crickets. They make for very entertaining and docile pets, and excellent feeders.

Why buy amphibians?

Amphibians are generally slower-moving, and have uniquely moist skin which means they are never far from a source of water. Their life cycle is nothing short of incredible: they hatch in water, spend weeks or months in metamorphosis, then become either terrestrial or remain primarily water bound. Some salamanders even breathe through their skin! Our live amphibians for sale online include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. Some are huge, some are small, and virtually all are amazing to observe in captivity. When you buy amphibians from us, you can rest assured they are fully guaranteed to arrive alive and in great condition. Why not start an amphibian breeding project today?

Why buy feeder insects?

Reptile and amphibian food should be varied, which is why we offer an array of feeder insects for sale. It's always far more cost effective to buy feeder insects in bulk, which often saves up to 70% off pet store prices. Plus, the feeders are delivered right to your doorstep. We offer live crickets for sale, as well as mealworms, wax worms, nightcrawlers, and now even lizards, all at the lowest possible prices. Our reptile and amphibian feeder insects and lizards include a guarantee of live arrival.
